It's not just that. When in metric mode the grid spacing is still based on inches just multiplied by 25.4. So if I'm building a module based on a vendor's drawing and the vendor is using hard metric it's a big pain because I can't use grid snapping. The user defined spacing, I find, is really not much help. eric
